QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)

2. Walmart (firm 1) and Amazon (firm 2) are a duopoly in the grocery market. They are faced with an inverse demand of P(Q1, Q2) = 4 – 2(Q1+ Q2) and total costs of TC(Q;) = 2Q?, i = 1, 2. Note that the marginal cost is not constant! 1. Obtain the Cournot equilibrium quantities and profits. 2. Obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium in which Walmart moves first. Compare with the Cournot equilibrium. 3. Obtain the cartel outcome (= shared monopoly). Compare with Stackelberg and Cournot.

2. Consider the following game: Soapy Inc. and Suddies Inc. are the only producers of soap powder. They collude and agree to share the market equally. If neither firm cheats on the agreement, each makes $1 million profit. If either firm cheats, the cheat makes a profit of $1.5 million, while the complier incurs a loss of $0.5 million. If both cheat, they break even. Neither firm can monitor the other's actions. a) Construct the payoff matrix. b) What is the dominant strategy? c) What is the nash equilibrium for this game?
here are two firms in the market, Pepsi and Coke. Strategies: Low price (price promotion, LP), Medium price (regular price, RP), high price (new price strategy, HP). Payoffs: Coke, Pepsi’s Net Profits; LP, LP: $1.4m, $1.2m; LP, RP: $3.1m, $0.6m; LP, HP: $3.9m, -$1.3m. RP, LP: $1.3m, $1.8m; RP, RP: $2.0m, $1.8m; RP, HP: $4.3m, $-0.3m. HP, LP: -$1.2m, $3.6m; HP, RP: $0.8m, $3.9m; HP, HP: $2.8m, $2.5m. In this game, the NE is (are): (HP, HP) (LP, LP) and (HP, HP) (LP, LP) There is no NE in this game (RP, RP)

The graph above shows BigMed's demand, marginal revenue, average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost curves. (a) Calculate BigMed's total revenue if the firm produces the allocatively efficient quantity. Show your work.

11. Suppose there is a duopoly of two identical firms, A and B, facing a market inverse demand of P = 140 – 0.5Q, and cost functions of CA = 20QA and Cg = 20QB respectively. a. Find the Cournot-Nash equilibrium and profit for each firm. b. Suppose that A acts as the leader in a Stackelberg model and B responds. What are the respective quantities and profits of each firm now? Is it advantageous to move first? c. If the firms were able to collude, how much additional profit could they earn if they switch from simple single pricing to perfect price discrimination? d. Graph and label equilibria on the inverse demand.
Suppose that GE is trying to prevent Maytag from entering the market for high efficiency clothes dryers. Even though high efficiency dryers are more costly to produce, they are also more profitable as they command sufficiently higher prices from consumers. The following payoffs table shows the annual profits for GE and Maytag for the advertising spending and entry decisions that they are facing. GE MAYTAG Advertising = $12m Advertising = $0.7m Stay Out $0, $30m $0, $35m Enter $1m , $20m $12m, $15 Based on this information, can GE successfully prevent Maytag from entering this market by increasing its advertising levels? What is the equilibrium outcome in this game? Suppose that an analyst at GE is convinced that just a little bit more advertising by GE, say another $2m, would be sufficient to deter enough customers from buying Maytag, thus, yield less than $0 profits for Maytag in the event it enters. Suppose that spending an extra $2m on advertising…
